My mid engine rc10gt - sorry to say but its sold
ive been thinking about doing a mid engine rc10t3 but a rc10gt fell into my lap so im going to build it and see how diffrent it will handle to the rear motor rc10t3
the bad part ...2 bent front shock shafts , and it needs a set of diff rings and balls
going to order the parts soon as well as a tc5 motor mount .. looks like a fun project

Re: My mid engine rc10gt
just made sure the chassy was strait .. it wasnt but is now
i thought the bottom was crappy looking and would replace the chassy but want to make sure the truck will be good before i make a custom chassy for it .. so i just whent and polished it instead
its not a perfect polish but seeing its a runner .. good enough

Re: My mid engine rc10gt
at the shop i work at we have air powered die grinders and have come up with a good steps
the chassy was scatched up so i cleaned it up with a red pad about 80 grit
if you want a smooth polished finish then i do a wet sand with sanding disks on the die grinders ( it gets realy messy ) 180,320,400,600,800,1000 checking between to see if you can see and past scaches .. at this point you have to keep things clean because if some dust plows up and you polish you will scatch the finish and you have to step back in grit
at this point it will look realy good so i finish with a buffer pad and Autosol and it comes out perfect

Re: My mid engine rc10gt

Re: My mid engine rc10gt
got the spacers for the motor plate cut today ( 7mm) as well as the center hole opened (1/2") up and the 3rd hole drilled and tapped
i can space the motor another 6mm to the right if i need to for weight ballance but with the battery on that side i might have to move it to the left .. time will tell
